Relax and Sleep: Make Your Android Phone a Sleep Aid and Alarm Clock

Out of the box, Android will function as an alarm clock. What it won't do out of the box is help you fall asleep with white noise or soothing sounds of nature. There are apps for that, but not many of them integrate quite as well with the alarm clock and offer the array of sounds that Relax and Sleep for Android does.

Most white noise and background sound apps allow you to choose a specific sound to fall asleep to, or lets you cycle through a selection of sounds. Relax and Sleep allows you to mix and match multiple soundscapes to create an atmosphere that really makes you comfortable, and that will turn off after you fall asleep and wake you up when it's time to get out of bed. Best of all, it's completely free and available now in the Android App Market.

Relax and Sleep is completely free, and allows you to choose from a list of over 35 different sounds to fall asleep to. You can choose a single sound, or any combination of the sounds, and have the app cycle through them or play them simultaneously to help you fall asleep.

If you're concerned that a cacophony of crickets chirping, ocean waves, and chirping birds would more likely keep you awake than help you rest, don't be: the app allows you to tweak the volume of each selected sound individually, so you can set the crickets to chirp in the background while the splashing waves are louder and in the foreground.

Among some of the other choices are the sound of a running aquarium, plain white noise, a beating heart, a violin melody, and even a purring cat. The sound loops are long enough that you likely won't hear the same loop segments over and over again, and the fact that you can combine sounds to create a soundscape gives you the ability to create something truly unique.

For each sound or soundscape you create, you can set a timer for the app to turn itself off after you've presumably fallen asleep to save power and the life of your battery. You can also set the soundscape to start back up again at a specific time to wake you back up. The app even automatically mutes itself if you get an incoming call or other notification.

Unfortunately you're unable to use your own sounds with the app, but considering Relax and Sleep already has more options and sounds than a number of similar apps like Lightning Bug, White Noise, and SimplyNoise, Relax and Sleep may be worth a try if the other apps didn't work for you.
